German super model Katharina Kuhlmann sets up a friendly duel between Tanner Foust and German Drifting Champion Jochen Reich with his Opel Commodore 25E with a V8 BMW engine.
Opel Commodore
The Opel Commodore was an executive car produced by General Motors German subsidiary Opel. It is the six-cylinder variant of the Rekord with styling differences. The Commodore nameplate was used by Opel from 1967 to 1982. However, its lineage continues with the Australian Holden Commodore. The last generation was sold in the United Kingdom primarily as the Vauxhall Viceroy although Opel models were also sold.
BMW V8 engine
The BMW OHV V8 engine was the first V8 engine made by BMW, produced from 1954 to 1965. This engine is usually named by the fact that it was the only overhead valve V8 ever produced by BMW. All subsequent BMW V8 engines would use double overhead camshafts as well as fuel injection, but the development of the next V8 engine by BMW would not take place for more than three and a half decades.
